Even doctors are getting priced out of San Francisco's housing market

Even doctors are getting priced out of San Francisco's frenzied housing market, according to Trulia.

Medical practitioners from anesthesiologists to surgeons occupy the top nine spots in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' ranking of the highest paying jobs in America. But by comparing doctors' annual median salary to the median house price in San Francisco, Trulia found that only 41.6% of homes are affordable.

That share jumps to 90.7% in Chicago, another major city where home prices are rising, but at a slower pace. In Dayton, Ohio, Doctors can afford 99.6% of the market.

Trulia also looked into affordability for lower-paying jobs. Restaurant workers, who have a median salary of $28,612, face the most difficulty: Trulia found that 0% of San Francisco houses are affordable. Teachers can confidently shop around in only 0.4% of the market with a median wage of $72,340, while first responders have access to 2.6% of the market.

Overall, Trulia found that most of the time, households with at least two working people have more access to the housing market than single-income households.

San Francisco's first residents, members of the Yelamu tribe, began inhabiting the area around 3000 BC. Approximately 150 to 300 people lived in the boundaries of modern-day San Francisco, though they also roamed to neighboring sites.

The Spanish settlers established the Presidio of San Francisco (i.e. the "Royal Fortress of Saint Francis") in 1776.

The same year, the Mission San Francisco de Asís, the oldest surviving structure in the city, was built. The Catholic church was made of adobe, brush, and wood, which weren't the best materials considering California's earthquakes. Here it is in an 1863 photograph

The area remained under Spanish rule until 1821, when it became a part of Mexico.

In 1835, English entrepreneur William Richardson founded the city’s first homestead outside Mission San Francisco de Asís, near what is today Portsmouth Square (a one-block park in the city's Chinatown neighborhood).

The same year, Richardson and Alcalde Francisco de Haro, a Mexican soldier, laid out an urban plan for a larger town, named Yerba Buena (“Good Herb” in Spanish) after an aromatic plant native to the area. The town began to attract American settlers.
